Just like the title says.....I am technically the former as I have an Omega in the lineup, but I rarely wear it. I really want to branch out, specifically to JLC and Panerai. But when it comes down to it I always want to wear a Rolex.

bridgs · 20 May 2018, 12:18 AM

I like wearing mine exclusively.

101031-28 · 20 May 2018, 12:22 AM

Rolex exclusively at this point. Started in 1988 with Rolex, branched out to others over the years (AP, Vacheron, IWC, Breitling, Breguet, Ulysse Nardin, Cartier, Omega, Tudor and Panerai just to name a few) but always found myself going back to Rolex.

Jster · 20 May 2018, 12:25 AM

Definitely a watch guy. I love Rolex but I’ve owned AP, VC, IWC, Panerai, Omega among others.

NLYogi · 20 May 2018, 12:27 AM

Good question. I consider myself a watch guy because first of all I am interested in Haute Horlogerie (PP, VC, AP, JLC etc.)
Rolex comes in to play because they are sturdy watches (I dropped mine already two times, banged it against anything several times, still runs smooth). I would have to be so careful with a PP or JLC that it would be no fun to wear. So for me Rolex is Haute Horlogerie for the real world and as close as I can get to “the real thing”.

Kiddodoc · 20 May 2018, 12:29 AM

Rolex Guy for sure!

brmott · 20 May 2018, 12:34 AM

Watch guy, favorite being Rolex. Wear a Planet Ocean around the house

Wow, that's quite a branching out. Do you still have all or some of those or is your collection just Rolex now?

Snow-Dweller · 20 May 2018, 12:38 AM

Rolex Guy. I’ve been off down other roads.....AP, Panerai, Cartier....but am now exclusively Rolex.

Ripcode · 20 May 2018, 12:39 AM

Watch guy. My Rolex is my grail, but I still enjoy the eye candy of other brands.

HLKing · 20 May 2018, 12:41 AM

I've a LeColture Memovox alarm in 14k case from 1955, and I love it. I've a Rolex Presidents 18k 1803, a Daytona Zenith 16528, and Submariner 1680 from 1978. Wear the Sub when I wear a watch.

harvey · 20 May 2018, 12:52 AM

I would say I'm a watch guy but currently have just a Rolex collection. Although I appreciate other brands, I unfortunately don't have the means to buy them without selling what I have.

That's a great point. It's awfully costly to have too many high end watches.

Same boat here.

pickettt · 20 May 2018, 01:25 AM

Watch.

Boothroyd · 20 May 2018, 01:29 AM

Rolex, with one exception, the Tudor BB. But the more I think of it, when I get additional watches, they will be Rolex models.

brandrea · 20 May 2018, 01:30 AM

I love them all, but always come back home to Rolex

nikesupremedunk · 20 May 2018, 01:39 AM

Definitely more of a Rolex guy than a watch guy. I’ve tried to wear other brands more but always keep going back to my Rolex. There’s just nothing like it.

Sunly · 20 May 2018, 01:40 AM

I am a watch guy, my first real watch was a GMT upgraded to TT GMT and sold it for the FPJ CB, but wearing a G shock mist if the time as I try to go to work out every day. But will def go back to rolex one day...eyeing the DJ41 now...

Rolex guy since the movement precision/reliability and durability is superior

bdex75 · 20 May 2018, 01:42 AM

Watch for sure. Don’t own a Rolex now and have not in quite some time.

I was anti-Rolex for a while, then went full on in on joining this forum and now I have a nice balance across my 3 top brands.

RHIII · 20 May 2018, 01:48 AM

I’m a watch guy....but if there was only one...it would be a Patek.

Tell me about it LOL
Only Rolex left. Professionals, 40mm case with crown guards (mix of 4,5 and 6 digits) in either SS or PM.

Marcus09 · 20 May 2018, 02:03 AM

I like watches in general but only collect Rolexes. I happen to also have a couple of Omegas. So I consider myself a Rolex guy.

rolexryan329 · 20 May 2018, 02:20 AM

I’m a watch guy but I can’t follow watch pages on IG that aren’t mostly rolex because sometimes those Richard milles or skeleton watches are too much to stomach. They have weird watches that have weird complications and beads that make graphics and look like the Torah and that’s where I draw the line LOL

I’m a watch guy when it comes to rolex, AP and patek but everything else is on a case by case basis

jmrxtr · 20 May 2018, 02:37 AM

i'm a watch guy, but this forum keeps making me lust for Rolex
so weird

HAL330 · 20 May 2018, 02:40 AM

I wear my Rolex most of the time, but I love my Patek and AP watches nearly as much, and in some ways more.
